Equipment
Our smallest Makerbot printer. Uses Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) printing technology. Primary material used is PLA (Polylactic Acid) filament. Build volume is 9.9in x 7.8in x 5.9in L/W/H. Prints with a layer thickness of 100 microns.

Our most reliable Makerbot printer. Uses Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) printing technology. Primary material used is PLA (Polylactic Acid) filament. Build volume is 11.6in x 7.6in x 6.5in L/W/H. Prints with a layer thickness of 100 microns.

Our largest printer. Uses Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) printing technology with an air-heated print chamber to mitigate warping on large-scale prints. Primary material used is PLA (Polylactic Acid) filament. Build volume is 11.8in x 12.0in x 18.0in.
